Overwatch Busan Map - When will it release?

The release date for Busan has not been formally revealed by Blizzard.

However, we do know the map released to the PTR on August 22. Looking back at previous maps and releases in the Overwatch series, we do know that there's usually about three weeks of testing on the PTR before heroes and maps migrate to the main servers.

That would mean we're likely to see Busan added to Overwatch around September 12.

It's worth noting that Blizzard tends to make big updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as per the scheduled maintenance page. As such, we can likely see the map drop on September 11 or September 13.

We'll keep you updated as anything is announced.

Overwatch Busan Map - What is it?

The new Busan map is based on the South Korean city of the same name.

The map will be a Control map - meaning that only the Control style games will take place there. As such, the map is segmented into three key areas (similarly to Oasis, or Lijiang Tower).

The three areas of Busan are: Downtown, Sanctuary and MEKA base.

From what we've seen on the PTR so far, Busan is one of the most intricate maps with the most environmental detail included - great news for fans of busy maps.
